HANCOCK.
Ian. 10, 1887

/ Jan. ~, 1851
I Mr.. and Mrs. Rankin entertained a
party of young folks last week Mon-
day evening, in their usual cordial
manner. Refreshments were ser"ed
and all spent q happy evening.
Mrs. Nu'ting returned Saturday
from two wsek visit to Minneapolis.
| c. E. Emerson returned from the
East Friday; he had the pleasure OF
shaking hands with many old friends
as we'll as relatives. He found more
snow and as cold weather as in re-
nowned Minnesota.
Hancock though small in size is de-
termined to keep pace with intellect
ual improvements. A singing school
has been organized which promises to
be success.
Since the snow has become so oplenty
the time honored "Ski Clubs" has
been revived, little boys and big boys
fat men and lean men all go on
''skis." 1t is to be hoped the ladies
will avail themselves OF the accom-
plishment. 1t is superior to tobog-
gaming.
Walter Higgins has returned from
a visit to Wisconsin. The "Owl Club"
gave dance at the Town Hall Friday
evening. Supper was served at Nell
sons Restaurant. y good time Is re-
ported.
A party of young folks surprised
Mr.. Hunter last week "Wednesday
evening. The surprise" was in honor
of Miss Aggie who returned to the
Normal the following day. The even
ing was spent in "pleasing" games.
The attendance was large.
Mrs. Hamlin's sister irom.Dc Graft
is visiting here.
Orns Nelson while coasting on the
elevator bridge ram into sled and
had his foot hurt. At present he is
doing nicely.
DR.. L. Horton died at ) p. n. Satur-
day OF Typhoid fever. He has been
sick for some time but only for the
last two weeks seriously. He WAS Il
graduate from the Medical College at
Chicago. Daring the year he has
been here he has built up Il good
practice and made many friends. His
death will be mourned by all. He
was buried Tuesday in the Hancock
cemetery. His parents arrived Sun
day at at = A. NJ. but two late. They
nave the sympathy of the entire COM |

Denver, Jan. 18th, 1887

Denver, Jan. 10th, 1887.
Dear TRIBUNE: For several days
have been seeking the leisure, III
which to write through your columns
to the friends in Morris who are never
for a moment forgotten, though some
times neglected, for dread the home
sickness that comes over me when ]
take up my pen to write a letter to
Mimi.
will begin by correcting q few
wrong Impressions [ gave in my
other letter. l said the road from
Denver to Rowlins was q drcary one.
That was correct but I diG not find the
return trip at all so, for taking the
train in the night and passing over
the section of country between
Laramie and Cheyenne in the day
time, found the scenery abrupt and
picturesque enough to suit even me.
l think very few people leave the
mountains without feeling of regret.
There is something very winning
about them. 1t seems queer word to
apply to such grim, nleak monstros-
tiles, yet 1t is really appropriate.
We staid until the first snow fell,
and the frost had turned the quaking
aspins and chokecherry bushes to
bright crimson and gold and these
against the dark background of the
pines made picture I shall never
forget. How | longed for an artists
skill! One does not wonder that
Helen Hunt (better known to us as
H. H. chose to be buried in their
solitudes for she had loved the m
from u child. Her grave in Cheyenne
Cannon is in so rocky q spot it
could not he reached except by strong
men who climbed the rocks with
their precious burden that her dying
wish might be fulfilled.
Though only Sept. 18th when we
left the camp never remember suf-
fering more in Minnesota in mid
winter with the cold than L did that
day while riding that forty miles
lover the hills and far away" L was
quite glad to return to a land of Sum-
days again. The other members of
the camp had good laugh at my ex-
pense for working busiIy all one Sun
day and then devoutly resting on
Monday until nearly night before l
discovered my mistake.
Denver as you all doubtless know is
city of about eighty thousand people
not pretty town, more like a great
over grown village. It seems a city
of perpetual sunshine. The weather
until Christmas was perfect. They
sprinkled the streets until nearly
New Years. Since then we have had
one or two cold days aud several
windy ones. 1t is very changeable.
Now If the sun ever goes behind a
cloud fancy it is colder here than
any where else on earth. 1t is said to
be just the place for people from damp
climates who have lung trouble, but
there seems to be an endless amount OF
Pneumonia and people go I'm and out
of houses where diptheria and scarlet
fever are raging with no one to molest
or make them afraid. Denver can
not compare with st. Paul and Min

A West Indian Home.

Two hours driving brought us to the
entrance of plantation of unusual size
and consequence. All its appointments
were on the largest scale. A long ave-
nue. of royal palms conducted from the
road to the manor house, if may so
call it, and we found that long, low
residence hidden in Towering vines, and
at the centre of beautiful maze OF
tropical vegetation. The front veranda,
which seemed to close the avenue, as one
approached, was quite covered wits a
superb bougainvillia vine, the colored
Tracts of whose flowers formed COM
plcte veil of imperial purple, wonderful
to see. Poinsiana trees aglow
with splendid blossoms, poinsettias all
aflame, purple dracaanas rising in grace
full plumes, the scarlet hibiscus and
blooming cactuses were on every side.
Occasional spaces opening to the skies
afforded room for parterres, and at such
spots were seen roses i'll profusion and
variety, as we'll as other delicate flowers.
The yellow jessamine and the Cape jes.
samine were conspicuous. I noticed
over the archway of \ wall, a feshy
orchid, though not in blossoms, which
afterward learned was the vanilla. Above
all this tangle OF grace and beauty and
fragrance arose an occasional areca palm,
a travellers palm or gigantic cuba.

Caterers to Cats.

Robers P. Porter says: There are in
London at least 5000 men and women
who earn very comfortable livings as ca
terers TO cats. This trade, while it cx-
tends somewhat into the West End, does
not flourish in the wealthy neighbor-
hoods where the cats are often fed with
dainty scraps from the table. In the
East End, with its 100000 of human
beings closely packed in single rooms in
narrow streets, there are no spare scraps
from the table. 'We are obliged to eat
close" said Belhnal green woman to
me. "Our cats get no dainties. The
old man or the. young 'uns get the last
daintics and oftentimes the last bones. :"
A vast majority, therefore, of the half
million or more of London cats have to
live on boiled horscfesh, and the cats
meat man" is the purveyor of this meat
for the poorer, middle and lower-class
cats of the metropolis.
An bodied cat can live comforta.
bly, on half a pound of cats meat per
day. The cost Of this meat at CATS
meat shop is penny per pound. If the
entire army of cats were supplied with a
full half pound of meat it would take
about S33 horses per day to keep them
supplied, as the average product of meat
of dead horse, am told, is about 800
pounds. A considerably smaller number
of defunct horses than this is made to
go round, owing to the skill of the CATS

Coins in the Mouth.

The Boston Herald says on the subject
OF ladies and others using the mouth to
hold coins: '.It is quite common
among women, who, under such circum-
stances, never seem to have quite hands
enough, and so they press their mouths
into service to do what is not only a vu.-
gar thing, lut absolutely filthy. The
nickel which is taken from the purse
may have recently left hand unwashed
since it fondled child dying with diph-
liberia or other infectious disease. Or it
may have come from the hand of man
suffering from the most loathsome of
disorders. None will doubt but the
habit in question is thoughtlessly in
dulged, but if you have it, break your
self of it, and never again be guilty of
such atrocity."
